What Does Turkey's Erdogan Want from Southern Libya?
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
continues to recruit mercenaries and foreign forces of Evil in order to send them to Libya, to preserve Ankara’s interests and expand its military presence inside the country, sources revealed to Libya Review.

The sources explained that Ankara recruited Sudanese gangs in order to send them to the South of Libya to target the army forces stationed on the Chadian border. The Libyan-Chadian boarder is a highly volatile area, following the killing of Chad’s President Idriss Déby in armed attacks last April.

The sources added that the company responsible for recruiting a group of Sudanese mercenaries is owned by Ottoman Turkish businessman Oktay Shaban Hosni. Oktay is close to Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...
The sources confirmed that Oktay assigned the task of recruiting Sudanese miners to send them to Libya, to a Ottoman Turkish person named Youssef. Youssef works under the cover of operating in the maintenance of heavy machines and loaders.

Oktay left Sudan after the fall of the previous regime, who assigned him there. Sources said that "the Ottoman Turkish company responsible for recruitment operations continues to work in various forms due to its officials’ extensive relations with workers and miners in Sudan."

Observers believe that Turkey views the Libyan South with great interest, as 70% of Libya’s wealth is concentrated in this region.

In February, a report by a team of United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
Security Council experts revealed that Sudanese gangs participated in the fighting in Libya.

In recent months, gangs, most of them foreigners, launched numerous attacks on southern Libya. They targeted the forces of the Libyan National Army (LNA), which prompted the latter to launch proactive campaigns to "purify"this area.

The continuing efforts to bring mercenaries into Libya and the presence of foreign forces in many parts of Libya remain a major obstacle to the holding of the Libyan upcoming elections, scheduled for next December.

On the sidelines of Libyan Prime Minister, Abdelhamid al-Dbaiba’s visit to Turkey on Saturday, Ottoman Turkish Defence Minister, Hulusi Akar, said Ottoman Turkish forces will not leave Libya. This move raises doubts about Ankara’s intention to open the way for a political solution and withdraw mercenaries and its affiliated forces from Libya.

#2 Maybe Erdy just wants a giant sandbox to play Calvinball in. That's what I would want if I were twelve.

#3 Ottoman Empire included northern part of Libya but not the southern part.

So, Erdogan, if he had the southern part could fancy himself as more wonderful than Sultan X of blessed memory

#4 There is quite a bit of oil in southern Libya and potentially huge 5 billion metric tons of iron ore in the central southwest area.

Neither have, to date, been extensively developed for extraction.

They'll have to wrestle the Chinese for both as there are existing China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) holdings for both products.
